Subject: [PATCH] lei_xsearch: improve Xapian open failure messages
Date: Sun,  8 Aug 2021 20:07:47 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210808200747.22256-1-e@80x24.org> (raw)

Displaying $! can help users diagnose resource limit problems
such as EMFILE/ENFILE/ENOMEM.  $@ is currently useful for XS
Search::Xapian and perhaps future versions of the Xapian.pm SWIG
bindings.
